This afternoon was somewhere around Micah's seventh attempt at giving blood. She has been denied every single time due to low iron. In fact, she was on iron pills last summer because of her low iron level which is genetic.
Fast forward to last night, where she literally gagged down a cup of raw spinach in hopes of bringing her iron level up enough.
They pricked her first finger today - 12.4. She needed a 12.5. Would she like them to prick her other finger? 12.6! Miss Micah gave her first pint of blood ever in six minutes flat! And felt totally great afterward!
